Comment on Barack Obama: “For elevator music, AI is going to work fine. Music like Bob Dylan or Stevie Wonder, that's different”

  Young tech can’t tell real from simulacrum

  What is good art? Stuff like this can be produced with zero effort in a couple of seconds. ChatGPT wrote the prompt. And to my eye at least that looks “good enough”, it’s not like I frequently human art that looks better. If we get AI that can write elevator music at that level, I’d probably be fine with that too.

    For art to be good it needs to leave an impression on people. Can’t imagine anyone taking anything away from Generic Pretty Girl #372

      Most stuff looks pretty generic, you’re right. But there’s actually been a couple times when I’ve been baffled by the output. For this one, for example, I just gave it my username

        I think magicians love when audiences are willing to both believe in magic and maintain a respect for the secrecy of their trade.

        I’ll tell you what I know for sure: people from my generation are working like their lives depend on it to separate the new generations from their money using our triumphant new invention; so of course this looks like impressive art to younger people and no one else; you’ll love the AI music we sell you too! And wait till you meet all the AI characters we’ve trained for you! You can sit, jaw dropped stifling laughter to hear the next joke designed to make you cackle so hard you piss yourself, in a room full of tailored friends.

        There are still tons of real things in this world: they still inspire more fruitful wonder than we do for ourselves and our contraptions.

        That takes a steaming hot dump on what the vast majority of people can do.

        It’s why people are scared. They should be.

      It’s leaving an impression on me. What do you consider good art?

      Well, you can have it with robots, cows and horses too. That’s the fun of it, it’s endlessly remixable.

      Could you please answer the question: What is good art?

      source

      • aesthelete@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Yeah, I, am the sole arbiter of what good art is. /s

        I’ll answer like a supreme court justice: I know it when I see it.
